Personally I think itโ€™s great that Kenny Dalglish is on VAR today.

Calls for a "huge nationwide wave" of protests in last 48 hours saw about 300 people attend one locally-organised protest in Nuneaton (serious charges in local case) + 19 protests range from 6 peoole (Wolverhampton) with about four more reaching 100-200 people (Altrincham,Canary Wharf)

Total < 2000

It certainly fits with what we were watching, but to see them comparable with struggling teams and all the "big" clubs at the other end of the scale, gives some perspective to how risk averse the team were.

One particularly interesting insight I discovered is that Arsenal spent an awful lot of time in a low block in HOME games last season! Their style is more akin to struggling teams or those who prefer to play on counter attack.

I'm a big fan of anyone doing #FollowFriday to find good new feeds and Iain has always been a good follow. Check out his new RouteOne podcast featuring @adrianjclarke.bsky.social and @tim-stillman.bsky.social this week who themselves are excellent follows for Arsenal fans.

On this day 1971, Leicester beat Liverpool 1-0 in the Charity Shield.
Double-winners Arsenal had chosen to play a money-spinning friendly against Feyenoord instead.

Granted, Iโ€™m at the airport, but the utter indignity of having to order a drink off a fucking app while literally looking at a physical bartender. Just a miserable world weโ€™ve built.

The answers are Ljungberg, Adebayor, Nasri, Vermaelen, Lacazette, Aubameyang, Cedric & Gabriel.

Man Utd's list of most expensive signings is a disaster zone. Long may it continue.

Eight players have scored on their league debut for Arsenal in the Premier League era (since August 1992). Can you name them?

And do you think any of our new signings will join this list in the coming season?

โ€œHow does the computer know something happened if no one tells the computer about itโ€ is the easy-reader way to explain why we still need human reporters and data-collectors

And I also find it genuinely alarming that even some people on this website donโ€™t seem to grasp this

He won three penalties against Arsenal - the joint-most of any player against us in the Premier League and he scored eight times against the Gunners. I did not like him at all.
